Abstract
A brake rotor having first and second panels and first and second sets of mounting flanges. The first set of mounting flanges may extend from the first panel and may be spaced apart from the second panel. The second set of mounting flanges may extend from the second panel and may be spaced apart from the first set of mounting flanges.
Claims20
A brake rotor comprising:
- a first panel that extends around an axis;
- a second panel that is spaced apart from the first panel and extends around the axis, wherein the first panel and the second panel cooperate to at least partially define a rotor opening;
- a first set of mounting flanges that extend from the first panel into the rotor opening and are spaced apart from the second panel;
- a second set of mounting flanges that extend from the second panel into the rotor opening, wherein the second set of mounting flanges is spaced apart from the first set of mounting flanges;
- and
- a reinforcement feature that extends from the first panel to a member of the first set of mounting flanges, wherein the reinforcement feature is spaced apart from the second panel.
